In a Facebook post late in the afternoon of September 11th, the New Jersey Forest Fire Service reported that the Fishers Pit Fire in Berkley Township, Ocean County had burned 189 acres and was at 100% containment. No structures were threatened nor were there any road closures. Thanks to all the crews of the New Jersey Forest Service for your continued service in helping us stay safe from wildfires.
I have blogged about aerial wildland firefighting since 2009. I am not a firefighter and am not a pilot, just an interested bystander who wants to learn more and share what I learn here. Join me here as I blog on the aircraft and the pilots who fight wildland fires from the air in support of crews on the ground. I also blog on concerns affecting fire crews on the ground as well as other aviation and meteorology issues. Learn what it takes to do jobs that are staffed by the best of the best.
